Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for recording the work contents of a worker.

  Work assigned to workers engaged in intellectual labor, such as software development work and office work, includes work that uses equipment such as a personal computer that supports labor, and work that does not.

  In addition, the manager who manages the workers regularly reports to each manager about the work contents of the workers and the work contents indicating the time required for the work (for example, daily reports, It is common to seek weekly reports).

  The collected work contents are used as basic data when the manager pays the workers a time-based wage. It is also used as basic data for measuring worker productivity in order to assist in management, such as predicting the completion time of a project.

  On the other hand, from the position of the worker who is to be managed, the work of recording the work contents is troublesome. For this reason, there is a conventional technique that supports measurement of the time during which a device such as a personal computer is operated.

For example, in Patent Document 1, a worker who operates a client computer regards an action that changes a workspace (virtual work place constructed on a computer) in a server computer as work promotion, and is related to the change. A technique for recording a time zone as a working period is disclosed.
JP 2005-228192 A

  However, in the method shown in Patent Document 1, work that does not change the work space is not counted as working hours. For example, if you perform a “browsing a document on a computer screen” for a long time, it is not determined that you are working because the work space is not changed, and the period during which the work is being performed is “None”. It is determined as “work period”.

  Moreover, in the method shown in Patent Document 1, labor that does not operate a client computer is not subject to measurement of working hours. For example, work that does not use a computer, such as work that is carried out while communicating with other workers, is not counted as labor.

The labor recording apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can inquire about and record the labor contents that do not operate the equipment.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a system to which a labor recording apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is applied.

  With reference to FIG. 1, a configuration of a system to which the labor recording apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is applied will be described.

  The system to which the labor recording apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is applied includes the equipment 10-1 to 10-n, the labor recording apparatus 100 for recording the labor content of the equipment 10-1 to 10-n, and the WAN. (Wide Area Network) or a network 1 such as the Internet.

  The labor recording apparatus 100 and the devices 10-1 to 10-i are connected via the LAN 20. Further, the labor recording device 100 and the devices 10- (i + 1) to 10-n are connected via the network 1. In the following description, the devices 10-1 to 10-n are simply indicated as the device 10 unless particularly specified.

  The device 10 is, for example, a PC (Personal Computer). Each worker is assigned equipment, and the worker works with the equipment.

  Instead of the labor recording apparatus 100, the labor recording apparatuses 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 according to Embodiments 2 to 6 described later are also applied to the system shown in FIG. In each embodiment, a description will be given of how the labor recording apparatus operates under the system as shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the labor recording apparatus 100.
A configuration example of the labor recording apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The labor recording apparatus 100 includes a computer main body 102, an FD drive 106 for reading / writing information from / to a flexible disk (FD) 116 connected to the computer main body 102 via a bus 126, a CD-ROM ( Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) 118 or the like optical disc drive 108 for reading information on an optical disc, communication interface 128 for exchanging data with the outside, monitor 104 as a display device, and keyboard as an input device 110 and a mouse 112. Further, the labor recording apparatus 100 is connected to the LAN 20 shown in FIG.

  The computer main body 102 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 120 connected to a bus 126, a memory 122 including a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a direct access memory device, for example, a hard disk 124.

  The hard disk 124 includes a device state 130 indicating whether the device 10 is operated and a labor content 132 indicating the labor content of the worker. Details of the equipment status and labor contents will be described later.

  An optical disk such as a CD-ROM 118 is loaded in the optical disk drive 108. An FD 116 is attached to the FD drive 106. The CD-ROM 118 may be another medium, such as a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disc) or a memory card, as long as it can record information such as a program installed in the computer main body. In this case, the computer main body 102 is provided with a drive device that can read these media.

  A program for recording work contents (hereinafter simply referred to as a work content recording program) is supplied by a storage medium such as the FD 116 or the CD-ROM 118. The work content recording program is executed by the computer main body 102 to record the work content. The work content recording program may be supplied to the computer main body 102 via the communication interface 128 from another computer.

  The CPU 120 executes processing corresponding to the above-described labor content recording program using the memory 122 as a working memory.

  The work content recording program is software executed by the CPU 120 as described above. Generally, such software is stored and distributed in a storage medium such as the CD-ROM 118 and the FD 116, read from the storage medium by the optical disk drive 108 or the FD drive 106, and temporarily stored in the hard disk 124. Alternatively, when the computer 100 is connected to the network, it is temporarily copied from the server on the network to the hard disk 124. Then, the data is further read from the hard disk 124 to the RAM in the memory 122 and executed by the CPU 120. In the case of network connection, the program may be directly loaded into the RAM and executed without being stored in the hard disk 124.

  The computer hardware itself shown in FIG. 2 and its operating principle are general. Therefore, an essential part for realizing the functions of the present invention is software stored in a recording medium such as the FD 116, the CD-ROM 118, and the hard disk 124.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the CPU 120 of the labor recording apparatus 100.
The functional configuration of the CPU 120 of the labor recording apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The CPU 120 makes an inquiry about the labor content to the equipment operation measuring unit 301, the labor content inquiry determination unit 308 for determining whether or not to inquire each equipment about the labor content based on the content measured by the equipment operation measuring unit 301, and the equipment 10. And an inquiry unit 310.

  The equipment operation measurement unit 301 includes a state change detection unit 302, a non-operation period calculation unit 304, and a labor content extraction unit 306.

  The state change detection unit 302 detects whether the state of the device 10 has changed via the communication interface 128.

  Here, the “apparatus status” will be described. In the present invention, two states of “operation state” and “non-operation state” are defined as “device state”.

  The “operation state” is a state indicating that the worker is operating the equipment. In this embodiment, (1) a state within a predetermined time from when the worker turns on the device, or (2) from a point when the worker is operating the device (an input event has occurred). A state within a predetermined time is defined as an “operation state”.

  For example, the state (1) is a state from when the device is turned on until a screen saver is generated. In the state of (2), the worker starts various application software (word processor software, spreadsheet software, etc.), and an input event such as character input via the keyboard or creation of a figure via the mouse operation occurs. This is the state from when the screen saver occurs until the screen saver is generated.

  Here, the time until the screen saver on the device is generated is given as an example of the predetermined time. However, the user of the labor recording apparatus 100 can arbitrarily set the predetermined time.

  On the other hand, the “non-operating state” is a state indicating a state other than the operating state. That is, the operation state and the non-operation state are in an exclusive relationship.

  For example, the non-operation state refers to a state in which a screen saver is generated or a power is not turned on after a predetermined time or more has elapsed since the worker operated the device.

  When the state change detection unit 302 detects that the device state has transitioned from the operation state to the non-operation state or from the non-operation state to the operation state, the state change detection unit 302 has detected a change in the device state 130 that is a storage area of the hard disk 124. Write the date and time and the current device status.

  The non-operation period calculation unit 304 calculates a non-operation period based on the device state 130. Note that the “non-operation period” refers to the period from the time when the device state was written as the non-operation state most recently to the current time.

  The labor content extraction unit 306 extracts the labor content when the device 10 is in the operating state. For example, the labor content can be extracted by the following method disclosed in Patent Document 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the device 10 transmits information such as what application is activated to the labor recording device 100 via the network 1 and the LAN 20. In the work content extraction unit 306, an application and work content are associated with each other in advance (for example, document creation work is associated with word processing software). The labor content extraction unit 306 extracts the corresponding labor content based on the information from the device 10 and writes it in the labor content 132.

  For example, if the work content extraction unit 306 determines that an input event has occurred by starting word processing software in the device 10-j, the work content of the worker to which the device 10-j is assigned is recorded as a document. Write the creation work.

  The labor content inquiry determination unit 308 determines, based on information from the device operation measurement unit 301, whether to inquire about the labor content with respect to the device 10 in which a change in state has been detected. In the present embodiment, it is determined to inquire about the work contents when transitioning from the non-operation state to the operation state. However, in the following description, the inquiry is not performed when the non-operation state is changed to the operation state because the device is turned on, but the inquiry may be performed.

  The inquiry unit 310 makes an inquiry about the work content to the instructed device 10 in accordance with the instruction from the work content inquiry determination unit 308. Then, the contents input by the worker in response to the inquiry are written in the labor contents 132 as the labor contents.

  The labor recording device 100 configured as described above can record the labor content of the device 10. Below, the process which the labor recording apparatus 100 performs is demonstrated.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a process executed by the labor recording apparatus 100.
With reference to FIG. 4, the process in which the labor recording apparatus 100 records the labor content will be described.

  In step S <b> 400, the CPU 120 waits to receive information indicating the state from the device 10.

  Next, in step S402, the CPU 120 determines whether or not a change in the state of the device 10 has been detected.

  If it is determined that a change in the state of device 10 has been detected (YES in step S402), the date and time when the change was detected and the current state are written in device state 130 (step S404).

  On the other hand, if CPU 120 determines that a state change has not been detected (NO in step S402), it performs the process of step S424. In addition, the user of the labor recording apparatus 100 can set in advance the time interval for confirming whether or not the state change is detected.

  In step S <b> 406, the CPU 120 determines which state the device 10 in which the state change is detected has changed.

  If CPU 120 determines that device 10 has transitioned from the non-operation state to the operation state (operation at step S406), CPU 120 calculates a non-operation period (step S408).

  Next, in step S410, the CPU 120 starts extracting work contents for the device 10 (step S410).

  Furthermore, in step S412, the CPU 120 determines whether or not an inquiry is necessary for the device 10. As described above, in the present embodiment, an inquiry is made when a transition is made from a non-operation state to an operation state. In the present embodiment, the inquiry is not performed when the non-operation state is changed to the operation state because the device is turned on, but the inquiry may be made.

  If CPU 120 determines that an inquiry is unnecessary (NO in step S412), CPU 120 returns to the standby state (step S400).

  On the other hand, if CPU 120 determines that an inquiry is necessary (YES in step S412), CPU 120 inquires about the labor content to device 10 in which the state change has been detected (step S414).

  In step S <b> 416, the CPU 120 accepts input of labor content from the device 10.

  Subsequently, in step S418, the CPU 120 writes the input work content in the work content 132 and returns to the standby state (step S400).

  In step S406, if CPU 120 determines that device 10 has transitioned from the operation state to the non-operation state (non-operation in step S406), CPU 120 writes the labor content extracted in the operation state to labor content 132 ( Step S420).

  Next, in step S422, the CPU 120 finishes extracting the labor content of the device 10 that has transitioned to the non-operation state, and returns to the standby state (step S400).

  In step S424, CPU 120 determines whether an end condition is satisfied. If it is determined that the termination condition is not satisfied (NO in step S424), the process returns to the standby state (step S400). If it is determined that the end condition is satisfied (YES in step S424), the process ends. Note that the user of the labor recording apparatus 100 can arbitrarily set an end condition. For example, a period during which the labor content recording apparatus 100 is activated may be set in advance as an end condition, and if the end condition determination time is outside the period, the recording of the working time may be ended. Other conditions may be set.

  Next, processing of the labor recording apparatus 100 as described above will be described using a specific example.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the state of the equipment from the time when a worker leaves the company to the time of departure in time series.
With reference to FIG. 5, the process of the labor recording apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 5 shows a state of the device 10 operated by a specific worker. Hereinafter, processing of the labor recording apparatus 100 for the device 10 will be described. The labor recording apparatus 100 performs processing according to the state of each device 10.

  The worker comes to work at 9:00 (t1) and turns on the power of the device 10. The labor recording apparatus 100 determines that the device 10 has changed from the non-operating state to the operating state. Then, the equipment state is recorded, and the extraction of labor contents is started. For example, the device state is recorded as “current time: April 26, 2006, 9:00, state: operation state”. In this case, the labor recording apparatus 100 determines that the device 10 is in an operating state due to the power being turned on, and does not inquire the device 10 about the work contents.

  At 9:05 (t2), the screen saver is activated in the device 10. The labor recording apparatus 100 determines that the device 10 is in a non-operating state. Then, the labor contents extracted in the equipment state and the operation state (from t1 to t2) are recorded, and the extraction of the labor contents is finished. For example, as the work content to be recorded, “E-mail creation from 9:05 on April 26, 2006” is recorded.

  An input event occurs in the device 10 at 9: 8 (t3). The labor recording apparatus 100 determines that the device 10 is in an operating state. Then, the non-operation period is calculated, and the extraction of labor contents is started. In this case, the non-operation period is from 9: 5 (t2) to 9: 8 (t3).

  Further, since the transition from the non-operation state to the operation state is performed at time t3, the labor recording device 100 makes an inquiry Q50 on the labor content to the device 10.

FIG. 6 shows an example of an inquiry input form.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, the labor recording apparatus 100 displays a screen 600 that prompts the device 10 to input labor content during a non-operation period and inquires about the labor content. The screen 600 is provided with an inputable area 602. The worker can move the cursor there and input a character string from the keyboard of the device.

  The labor recording apparatus 100 records the input content as labor content. For example, the worker inputs “view document” in the input area 602, presses an “OK” button, and transmits it to the labor recording apparatus 100. The labor recording device 100 receives the input information from the device, and the non-operation period is a non-operation period such as “non-operation period: 9:05 to 9: 8, 2006, labor content: document viewing”. And record it in association with the work content.

  Returning to FIG. 5, at 12:00 (t4) and 14:00 (t6), processing similar to that at time t2 is performed. Similarly to time t3, an inquiry Q51 is made at 13:00 (t5), and an inquiry Q52 is made at 16:00 (t7).

  The worker turns off the device 10 at 17:00 (t8). The labor recording apparatus 100 determines that the device 10 is in a non-operating state. Then, the work contents in the equipment state and the operation state (from t7 to t8) are recorded, and the extraction of the work contents is finished.

  As described above, the labor recording apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can inquire the worker about the labor contents during the non-operation period immediately after the transition from the non-operation state to the operation state. Thereby, the collection about the labor contents in the period which does not operate an apparatus can be implemented without omission.

[Embodiment 2]
The labor recording apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment can inquire and record labor contents that do not operate the equipment in consideration of the working period of the worker.

  The configuration of the labor recording apparatus 200 includes a working period 140 indicating information on the working period of each worker in the hard disk 124 in addition to the configuration example of the labor recording apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

  The working period is, for example, data indicating a working period of a worker such as “Weekday 9: 00 to 12:00” or “Weekday 13: 00 to 17:00”. In this case, work hours are from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 17:00 on weekdays.

  The user of the labor recording device 200 can input the working period of the worker through the keyboard 110. At this time, the CPU 120 causes the monitor 104 to display a screen that prompts the user to enter a work period in accordance with a user operation. Further, the work period information may be given from the outside via the communication interface 128.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the CPU 120 of the labor recording apparatus 200.
The functional configuration of the CPU 120 of the labor recording apparatus 200 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The labor content inquiry determination unit 308 determines whether or not to inquire the labor content with respect to the device 10 in which the change in the state is detected, based on the information from the device operation measurement unit 301 and the work period 140. In this embodiment, when the non-operation state is changed from the non-operation state to the operation state, an inquiry is made when the non-operation period is included in the work period. If the non-operation period extends between the non-working period and the non-working period, you may be asked to inquire about the work contents of the non-operation period within the working period, You may not ask about a non-operation period.

  Next, the process of the labor recording apparatus 200 as described above will be described using a specific example.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the state of the equipment from the time when a worker leaves the company to the time of departure in time series.
With reference to FIG. 8, the process of the labor recording apparatus 200 will be described. In FIG. 8, the working period of the worker is from time t1 to t4 and from time t5 to t8.

  The worker comes to work at 9:00 (t1) and turns on the power of the device 10. The labor recording device 200 determines that the device 10 has changed from the non-operating state to the operating state. Then, the equipment state is recorded, and the extraction of labor contents is started. In this case, the labor recording apparatus 200 does not inquire about the labor content because the non-operation period of the device 10 is not included in the work period.

  At 9:05 (t2), the screen saver is activated in the device 10. The labor recording device 200 determines that the device 10 is in a non-operating state. Then, the labor contents extracted in the equipment state and the operation state (from t1 to t2) are recorded, and the extraction of the labor contents is finished.

  An input event occurs at 9: 8 (t3). The labor recording device 200 determines that the device 10 is in an operating state. Then, the non-operation period is calculated, and the extraction of labor contents is started. In this case, the non-operation period is from 9: 5 (t2) to 9: 8 (t3).

  Here, the labor recording device 200 determines that the device state has transitioned from the non-operation state to the operation state, and the non-operation period (from t2 to t3) is within the work period, and the work content for the device 10 is determined. Inquiry Q80 is made.

  At 12:00 (t4) and 14:00 (t6), processing similar to that at time t2 is performed. In addition, at 13:00 (t5), the state is changed from the non-operation state to the operation state, but the non-operation period (from t4 to t5) is not included in the work period, so the same process as the process at time t1 is performed. Further, as with the processing at time t3, an inquiry Q81 is made at 16:00 (t7).

  The worker turns off the device 10 at 17:00 (t8). The labor recording device 200 determines that the device 10 is in a non-operating state. Then, the work contents in the equipment state and the operation state (from t7 to t8) are recorded, and the extraction of the work contents is finished.

  As described above, the labor recording apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment can inquire and record the contents of labor using information on the working period. This can prevent inquiries about unnecessary work contents. Therefore, in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment, it is possible to avoid the labor complexity of labor contents input.

[Embodiment 3]
The labor recording apparatus 300 according to the present embodiment can inquire and record labor contents that do not operate the equipment in consideration of the length of the non-operation period.

  The configuration of the labor recording apparatus 300 is the same as the configuration example of the labor recording apparatus 100 shown in FIG. The labor content inquiry determination unit 308 determines whether or not to query the labor content from the device 10 in which the change in the state is detected based on the information from the device operation measurement unit 301 and the non-operation allowable time set in advance by the user. decide.

  The non-operation allowable time is a criterion for determining whether to inquire about the work contents based on the length of the non-operation period. In the present embodiment, when the non-operation state transitions to the operation state, an inquiry is made if the length of the non-operation period is equal to or longer than the non-operation allowable time.

  Next, the process of the labor recording apparatus 300 as described above will be described using a specific example.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the state of the equipment from the time when a worker leaves the company to the time of departure in time series.
With reference to FIG. 9, the process of the labor recording apparatus 300 will be described. In the following, it is assumed that the non-operation allowable time is set in advance as 10 minutes.

  The worker comes to work at 9:00 (t1) and turns on the power of the device 10. The labor recording device 300 determines that the device 10 has changed from the non-operating state to the operating state. Then, the equipment state is recorded, and the extraction of labor contents is started. In this case, in the labor recording device 300, the calculated non-operation period (the time when the device was turned off yesterday (for example, from April 25, 2006, 17:00) to t1) is less than the allowable non-operation time (10 minutes). Inquiries about labor content will not be made.

  At 9:05 (t2), the screen saver is activated in the device 10. The labor recording apparatus 300 determines that the device 10 is in a non-operation state. Then, the labor contents extracted in the equipment state and the operation state (from t1 to t2) are recorded, and the extraction of the labor contents is finished.
